Combine into one PDF
Section titled “Combine into one PDF”At the bottom of the Export tab, Combine with other documents… bundles several project documents into a single PDF:
- Expand the section and tick the documents: Callsheet, Shooting schedule, Shot list, Gear list, Script. Reorder with the arrows.
- Choose Page size and Orientation. Including the script forces portrait.
- Click Download combined PDF (N). Two or more sections get a generated cover page with a table of contents.
A callsheet must be published before it can be combined.
File names and delivery
Section titled “File names and delivery”PDFs download as project-name-doctype.pdf (for example myfilm-shotlist.pdf, myfilm-schedule.pdf, myfilm-combined.pdf). A “Generating PDF…” toast shows while the server renders; “PDF exported” confirms the download.
Branding and watermarks
Section titled “Branding and watermarks”- Every generated PDF carries a footer with who generated it, when, “Created with CineFlow”, and page numbers.
- On the Free plan, PDF pages carry a CineFlow watermark. Paid plans export without it.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”- Server-rendered PDF exports count against a monthly quota on the project owner’s plan (exports of your own workspace documents count against your plan). When it is used up, the PDF export limit reached dialog offers a one-time PDF Export Pack (100 additional exports) or a plan upgrade. See Billing and usage.
- Client-side exports do not use the PDF quota: slides (PDF, PPTX, PNG), Word (.docx), Markdown, JSON, Fountain, FDX, and Outline downloads.
- On phones, the Export tab for schedule, gear, and people is not available; export from a desktop or tablet browser.
